My buddy has 3 avg mule deer in their group. Had the opportunity on 2 giants but when they were heading down to try and get in front of them they were just behind them when the crossed the road but onto more state land. They figured they had about 500 yards before they were onto private. As they were grabbing their rifles a farm came flying up the road in his truck and chased the deer all the way off the state land. Turned around and drove past my buddy with a big grin on his face. 2 biggest deer they say all week. 180 plus he figured.
What a neck on that buckNice work 👍
That’s pretty crazy, 9 days would give you a pretty good sample size for the area. What do you think has changed over there?

What do you think has changed over there?I think it boils down to a few rough winters , a few drought years, and dudes wacking little bucks on their way out of town because they need to justify the amount of money they spent .
I just got home. We got three good ones. Weather was mild.
Just got back from a 8 day trip. My 14 year old boys had deer tags and I had a whitetail doe tag. They had made up their minds months ago they were only going to shoot a good buck or no buck. Well it was in the mid 50’s during the day and they each had shots at a nice buck. It’s a good year for tag soup, plenty of meat in the freezer. I would say overall deer numbers are definitely low. We had a great memorable trip though. A lot of land is being bought up or leased and hunting isn’t being allowed. Groups like American Prairie, Nature Conservancy Group, they say written permission, I call BS.
